Ecology of Sepiola robusta
| Main Ref. | Jereb, P. and C.F.E. Roper (eds.), 2005 |
|---|---|
| Remarks | Found along the outer shelf between 26 and 498 m depth. Mating takes place when the male grasps the female's 'neck' region, and spermatophores are placed in the female's bursa copulatrix. Males have been observed to guard females during courtship. Contributes (although in low numbers) to the local trawl fishery as one of the most frequently captured Mediterranean species of this genus (Ref. 1695). |
